Summer is in full swing and Italy celebrates summer by hosting a number of special festivals and activities.
As I mentioned previously, Sienna's famous horse race, Il Palio, is held during July and August. Before the race, there is a colorful procession complete with people in medieval costume. For more information click here.
The Disfida degli Arceri di Terre e di Corte is held in Fivizzano, which is located in northern Tuscany. Local archers compete in this medieval festival reenactment, complete with costumes and flag throwers. Click here for more about this event.
As always, thanks for reading!

Parliamo Italiano and Upcoming Dates!
Our next Parliamo Italian potluck dinner is around the corner! Tomorrow!
"Parliamo Italiano" is an extra fun and free opportunity for students who are interested in meeting other members of the Italian Institute and the local Italian community. This is an opportunity that is different from the typical classroom setting, where students can speak Italian with one another in a very relaxed fun environment, and share our passion for the Italian culture and language. We will talk about food, wine, culture and all other interests our faculty and students would like to share. Students should have a good foundation in the basic structure of the Italian language. Every second and fourth Saturday of the month, we will meet at a designated member’s home. This event is a potluck where we invite each of you to bring a beverage or dish to share.
This Saturday the Parliamo Italiano will be hosted by one of the Italian Institute students. Thanks Clay!!!
When: July 23, August 13 and August 27
Time: 7:00PM
Where: For location, please call 303-733-4335 or email us at info@italianinsititute.com
Cost: Free, but please bring a Potluck dish or beverage
